is your husband also interested in divorce,if not then contesting a divorce is a long battle which involves time and money.It is always advised that if a couple can not live together they should go for mutual divorce under 13b of Hindu Marriage Act which is completed in 6 months provided the parties are living separately for the last one year.And in this mutual divorce you can MOU with husband about the alimony and custody of child's. .

Do not worry about any cheating ,advocates do not cheat any body ,hire a advocate of your choice in mumbai and file a petition under 13(B)(1) under HMA for first motion and second motion after 6 months.

sir, i would really b grateful if you answer me how do i send him a legal notice at d place he stays as we both live separately

for filing mutual divorce you do not need to give legal notice,both of you have to simply agree for mutual divorce and chalk out terms for MOU and prepare and file petition jointly and appear in family court of your jurisdiction.

Hi Madam, If your husband agrees, simple and less time consuming way is to file for mutual consent divorce. Notice is not required in this. Within one year you might get divorce. If he doesn't agree then file a one sided divorce petition on the ground of adultery. Trust some lawyer and take their help.

you have to decide consent terms .in mutual consultation with your husband . the issue as to flat owned by your husband , maintenance if any to be paid to you , your streedhan ,will form part of consent terms if your husband is agreeable for divorce by mutual consent it wont take you more than 7 months to get divorce by mutual consent .

If your husband is willing to mutually end the marriage then you may file for joint divorce on the basis of mutual consent. The terms and conditions of mutual divorce will be decided through agreement between you and your husband.
If he does not agree to mutual divorce then you may apply for divorce unilaterally on the ground of adultery on the basis of any proof of his extra marital affair which you have in your possession.
